There were all kinds of noisy sounds, the exclamations of the crowd, the sound of tables and chairs shaking and the dishes colliding, the sound of the captain shouting for a warning counterattack in the middle of nowhere, and the sharp sound of breaking the air whistling in the air.

Most recently, it was He Zong's eager voice that sounded above her head.

"Let's all go into the cabin and hide, quick."

Her entire face was pressed tightly against He Zong's chest, and the two fatal points on the back of her head and vest were under He Zong's wide palm.

Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to see the situation, but as soon as she moved, she was hugged tightly by He Zong.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The next moment, her whole body soared into the air, and in the shaking she finally had a chance to take a look at the situation.

The deck was full of people, all of them big men with crossbow arrows or knives in their hands.

And the sound she heard breaking through the air was the sound of an arrow piercing the night sky.

He Zong carried her head and ran into the cabin, she wanted to look up in He Zong's arms to see if others had followed, but He Zong pressed her head with one hand.

"Don't probe."

Only then did she realize that He Zong was actually holding her with one arm.

When she entered the cabin, she was put down by He Zong, and he told her with a serious expression, "You just wait here, don't go out if I don't come back." ”

After getting Ruan Jiaojiao's answer of 'yes', he explained to Gu Yue, who followed the first one to come in, "Don't go out either, there is someone guarding you at the door."

A few small nights, not to be afraid. ”

Gu Yue pushed her sister towards Ruan Jiaojiao with one hand, "You go and follow Miss Ruan, don't walk around." ”

Turning his head and nodding solemnly at He Zong, "I am here." ”

He is a powerless scholar who goes out at such a time, most of the time is a disservice, it is better not to cause trouble for them here.

He had roughly seen the situation on the ship when he came in, and all the crew members looked like they were practicing people, and the counterattack speed was quite fast, and they were definitely well-trained.

And He Zong, who claimed to be a businessman, was definitely not simple, he had already determined that these boats were his.

He Zong turned his head and was about to go out after explaining, but Ruan Jiaojiao shouted to him, "You pay attention to safety." ”

"Hmm."

He Zong didn't say anything else, and strode out the door.

At a distance of three or five steps from the door of the cabin, he met Wei Yan and his little servant head-on, and seeing him limping and walking with difficulty, He Zong couldn't help frowning.

"Go in and hide, don't wander around."

He couldn't get used to Wei Yan, but he didn't want his life, and he would definitely not fall into trouble at such a time.

Wei Yan only had time to glance at him, and He Zong had already walked away.

"Uncle, knife."

When he heard the sound, he saw that it was Zhao Sheng who ran over with a knife in one hand and handed one of the knives with a pitch-black body to He Zong.

He Zong, who was carrying a knife, even if he could only see his back, his momentum was terrifying.

"Second Young Master, let's hurry in."

Chang Shun died in a hurry, and the master was still injured, but he couldn't have another accident.

It is He Zong's martial arts, and the bandits and thieves have to be frightened by him when they come.

At this moment, he felt a sense of happiness, fortunately there was He Zong.

Otherwise, which of them can deal with a thief?

Wei Yan was the last to enter the cabin, and the moment they entered, the cabin door was shut.

There were six people in the small cabin, and it suddenly seemed very crowded, but there was no other way.

There was a small window in the cabin that could barely see some of the outside, but the light was not good in the middle of the night, and the visibility was very low.

The shouts and killings outside are getting louder and louder, and just listening to the sounds, you can tell that the battle must be fierce.

Tongcheng, which they had just left at night, was targeted by thieves, I'm afraid they had already been targeted at them, otherwise it wasn't so fast.

The neighborhood is deserted, and the thieves have obviously chosen a location early, and they are not new.

Ruan Jiaojiao is not worried that He Zong will be in danger, these days she has watched He Zong practice martial arts every day, and with his skills, ordinary thieves can't help him.

She was only worried about Yao Huang and them, they should be in the kitchen now, and she didn't know what the situation was.

"Did any thieves get on board?"

Miss Gu was extremely scared, it was the first time she had encountered such a thrilling situation when she was so big, she was so afraid that she even trembled when she spoke, and her two little hands kept pulling Ruan Jiaojiao's sleeves tightly.

Gu Li leaned on the window and looked, "Not yet, both sides are shooting arrows at each other, it seems that the counterattack on our ship is more courageous, and the other party's boat can't get close for the time being." ”

"But was our ship hit just now, will the thieves come on board from behind?" Gu Ying put forward a conjecture.

Gu Li leaned closer and looked closer, "I don't know, but now it looks like it's parallel to our ship, and it's a little far away."

However, this section of the river is not wide, and it can only accommodate two boats in parallel at most, and it is not possible to see what the boat in front of is at all.

The thieves must have deliberately chosen to attack us on this section of the river, trying to take advantage of the narrow surface of the river to outflank us and not stop, so that they could get on the boat. ”

Gu Ying's analysis was right, the thieves really thought like this, and they had succeeded countless times on this section of the river.

They didn't want to wipe out all the ships they were traveling with, just for the sake of He Zong's one ship, they didn't pay attention to the three boats in front of them, and only after they passed did they come out of another river and surrounded He Zong and them with the boats coming from behind.

It's just because they have already done an investigation, and several young ladies are on this ship, and their purpose is to kidnap people.

The goods are valuable, but where are these delicate young ladies valuable, and there is no need to sell them.

When the time comes, let them write letters to their families, and it is not as much silver as they want.

But what they never expected was to underestimate the strength of the ship's shipwrights.

I thought it was just an ordinary boatman, but it turned out that all of them were well-trained practitioners.

The thieves' arrows are all ordinary arrows, but He Zong's side is using crossbow arrows, which are not comparable to ordinary arrows in terms of range and speed of lethality.

The next moment they gave the signal, the people on the boat also blew the warning whistle, and the boat quickly drove forward, so that the thieves behind did not have a chance to pedal the boat.

But the boat that suddenly came out of another river to block them did not expect it, and in the end they could only be caught up by the boat behind them.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly, and they were unable to get the thief ship closer.

In front of him was Ruan Jiaojiao's boat, and when the captain heard the whistle, he immediately summoned his men to make a vigilance, ready to fight back at any time.

After confirming the situation, he explained that he stopped the boat and wanted to go back to help, but unfortunately the river was not enough for the boat to turn around.

They could only shoot arrows across the river, and the distance was too far for even crossbow arrows to reach the thief ships behind, but instead wasted a wave of arrows.

Someone proposed, "Let's send a small boat to help." ”

The captain stood on the bow of the ship and looked, "There is an uncle, let's wait and see the situation first." ”
